Hi,
Right to start off, im not very technical, so be patient
.
I got a Dell XPS 600 aprox just over a year ago, i cant seem to find any info on what motherboard i have( Any info on how to find out would be appreciated!) but i would like to get a new graphics card, i currently have a Nvidia Geforce 7900GS, (pci maybe pci-e, not sure
). The card i m looking to get is http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-048-EA&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=356
or another similar 9600gt, just wondering will this be compatible with my motherboard as i have heard that i may need a power supply, which i have no idea if i have, also i saw on another site that a different model needs a PCI-E x 16 slot, do i have that? Do i need it? So im rather confused at the moment.
Although i have no actual info on my motherboard i have found a photo which is the same as what mine has
http://images.tomshardware.com/2005/11/23/pc_interfaces_101/pcie_16_1.jpg (you may need to copy and paste into browser manually, didnt work for me)
I have this with another slot above which my graphics card is currently in, not sure what that one is.
Just ask for any other info you need of my PC or whatever and ill try to find it out
So any info would be very useful as i am a bit of a newbie at this stuff
.
P.S I saw this in the sale category, but it is b-class, what does this mean? Is it damaged?
